Newfield police: two borough men stole handgun, meds and valuables in burglary

NEWFIELD BOROUGH — Two borough men were involved in a burglary last week in which a handgun was stolen from a Catawba Avenue home, police said on Tuesday.

Joseph J. Jordan and Vincent Sciarrone Jr., both 18, were charged with burglary, theft, unlawful possession of a weapon and receiving stolen property.

Both were committed to the Gloucester County Jail in default of bail.

The victim reported stolen a Sig Sauer Model P226, 40-caliber handgun, along with “numerous silver coins and two bottles of medication” from the home on Catawba’s 300 block, a police statement said.

Police eventually found the handgun in a Vineland, Cumberland County home on Salem Avenue, they said. There, authorities also arrested Carl Harris, 20, of Vineland, although the Newfield police statement did not specify charges that may have been brought against him.

Newfield officers were assisted in the case by Vineland and Franklin Township police.

Ptl. Kevin Przybyszewski is investigating the case, and anyone with more information on it is asked to contact the Newfield police at 856-697-0577.
